If you own GM or
GS sound equipment and you've obtained the correct file type, the answer
is yes. If you own non-GM or non-GS equipment the answer is still yes ...
but after making some changes.
For use on non-GM equipment you will have to alter the patch assignments
within the file to suit. By referring to your equipment's GM tone listing,
you will be able to re-patch to your equipment. e.g. The BandTrax MIDIfile
contains Program Change #1 in track #?. The GM list tells you this is
Piano. Find the PG # for Piano in your equipment then change the PG # in
the track to that number. Do the same for all instrument sounds on all of
the other tracks.
Note: Drums/Percussion should always be on MIDI Channel #10.
BandTrax MIDIfiles will also work on all computer music systems capable of
loading/importing MIDIfiles via MS-DOS disks or accepting MIDIfiles via
electronic mail servers (Email). If you are using a Mac, you must have PC
File Exchange or similar installed for your Mac music software to be able
to read from the PC Disk folder when the files are provided on floppy
disk.
Also note that the sound reproduction from computer sound cards is usually
found to be sub-standard when compared to dedicated sound modules. Most
soundcards and GM/GS emulators to not have the dynamic range or
wave/sample quality that is available in external sound modules. It is
recommended that you connect an external sound module to your computer via
MIDI/Serial/USB cables when using our files.
